After MBBS, cadets complete basic military training at the Pakistan Naval Academy, Karachi, and a house job at PNS SHIFA, and sign a bond to serve at least 7 years from the completion of basic training.

Eligibility Criteria

• Only citizens of Pakistan can apply, and only for the branch marked for their gender in the advertisement – most SSC branches are for male candidates, while women can apply for most medical specialist posts and for Pharmacist, Healthcare Support Officer and Speech Therapist.
• Qualification must match the branch applied for, from an HEC-recognised university (or, for medical posts, a PM&DC-recognised institution). Foreign degrees need HEC equivalence.
• Age is counted on 1 July 2027 and varies by branch – up to 27 years for most branches, up to 28 years for Pharmacist, Healthcare Support Officer and Speech Therapist, up to 30 years for GDMOs, up to 31 years for Instructors, up to 34 years for Naval Law, and up to 40 or 42 years for medical specialists.

• Minimum height is 5 feet 4 inches for men and 5 feet for women; weight is judged by Body Mass Index. Candidates must pass the medical standards of the Navy.
• Candidates must be medically fit, including for Hepatitis B and C. Anyone permanently declared unfit by an Appeal Medical Board, dismissed from government service, or barred under the ISSB ineligibility rules (for example, repeated ISSB rejections or a recent ISSB attempt within 120 days) cannot apply.
• Only one category can be applied for in an SSC course, and the degree must already be complete with a final transcript/degree at the time of applying.
• Government employees must obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their department.

Selection Process

• Computer-based entrance test (intelligence and academic, according to the branch), followed by a preliminary medical, Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and interview at the recruitment centre.
• The PET requires a one-mile (1.6 km) run in 8 minutes 30 seconds, 10 push-ups in 2 minutes, 10 sit-ups in 2 minutes and 2 chin-ups in 2 minutes.
• Shortlisted candidates appear before the ISSB (medical branch candidates take a personality test at their recruitment centre instead), followed by a detailed medical, the PN Selection Board, and final selection by Naval Headquarters in merit order.
